Like the title states, who here builds model cars? I did this for a while as a kid, and wanting to start getting back into it. Actually was able to find one of my generation LGT Wagon as well.

So, who else has this as a hobby?

I have done a few that come out great. My latest is a JGTC R33 Skyline and the Esso Supra. Tamiya kits.

Yea, the ebay store I just ordered this from sells some of the Tamiya kits. If I start getting back into it again, I might order an R33 skyline, and their FD3S RX-7 too. Depends on how much I enjoy the LGT wagon.

I used to do the steel models a lot but I am tempted to pick up a couple of the wrx and the beetle.

Pre painted? Yes.

Snap together? No.

I used too do this like 2 years ago.
I still have a pile of paint, My airbrush, some glue.
All that, Im sure 90 out of 100 some bottles of paint I have are ruined cause all the oil rose too the top.

Maybe Ill get back into it.

I had a bunch of the diecast metal ones at my parents house, all snap together though.

I've done two recently, an R35 GTR and a Z Tune. The Z Tune is done and the GTR is the process of being finished, but I left it home when I moved. Good stuff, but prepainted FTL.

They seem to work fine after you mix them again. I have a few bottles that seperated and they looked great after remixing them with a tooth pick.
